Ya 76,000 glory hunters with no shame at allNah no club will turn em away, amazing how many have no shame though.
Very unfair, there must be at least 10.000 Mancunians go yon.
Mancunians watch the Champions cashyVery unfair, there must be at least 10.000 Mancunians go yon.
And 13,000 watch your ex Prem team.. the team you jumped ship fromMancunians watch the Champions cashy
That's the problem here..stupid people with no sense of reality
Hold on here this will take time to sort attendance,maybe 4 weeks ..12,000 at burnley today.. 2 weeks time Rovers v barnsley,then only /only 48 hours later also home sky match v middlesboro,so low crowds due to 2 games in only 48 hours and sky live game .no more than 15,000 prob to be honest. If Get results though and wolves at home late sept ,then that game 20,000 at least at rovers !!! whats that 12,000 gate at burnley look then ?? haa haa
Right in a way, totally wrong as usual, I didn't jump ship seeing as how i went yon from Stanley in 62......... Accrington didn't have a team back then,And 13,000 watch your ex Prem team.. the team you jumped ship from
I stayed yon, n unbelievably Accrington returned to the league about 5 yrs ago, So i returned to my home town club, There There,hope thats not to difficult to grasp? Plus Accrington is the club i started with.
Surprising thing is the thread starter is a Dingle, better to look at your own miserable gates rather than anybody else's, well thats 3 defeats on the trot for the ner do wells and Rovers still command bigger gates even after the upheaval with Venky's and Kean,
Thats called "Shifting The Spotlight" which is the only way to go if yer a Dingle.
No, he's not, he's an Everton fan!
Dingle Everton they're both the same
Stanley have the same problem they always had. They are sandwiched between Rovers and Burnley and nothing will change that. I do go to Stanley occasionally (not as much as I would like) but I think that too much of their support is like me (Burnley or Rovers fans on a day off). It is a shame because they have come back from the dead and local people should be proud of them but old habits are hard to break, especially where football is concerned.
The one thing I do like when I go there is the atmosphere. I'm whisked back to the days when football was a working man's game. Basic facilities, cold and people not eating prawn sandwiches with their champagne.
Long live the likes of Stanley, they are real football, not premiere league hype and prima donnas on telephone number wages.

it doesnt help, when a season ticket at rovers is cheaper than stanley, burnley not much more.
loyalties are loyalties, but with waining crowds all round (ok the rovers thing is part in protest, i was at the last home game, at rovers, and official figures just short of 14 thousand, and for most of match it was like an away game), bums on seats are harder to come by, and what are the clubs doing to get the "waverer" like me there.
i have to admit i was only at rovers game, because i had free tickets for players lounge,as as a guest of Bruno, he is mate of a mate

Rovers attendances were always going to fall considerably after relegation, quite apart from the protest. Every team, maybe with the exception of Man Utd back in the seventies, suffers a considerable fall. Firstly there are the fairweather fans (all clubs have them). They are the ones who have swallowed the premiere league hype about it being the "best league in the world" (questionable when you look at the quality in Spain and the attendances in Germany). They are the "fans" who feel it is somehow below them to "support" a non-prem team. They are not really supporters at all, just glory hunters. Secondly there is the inevitable drop in visiting support: it's a little bit different having 5/6,000 visiting fans from United, City Chelsea etc. and playing Brighton, Peterborough or Doncaster on a cold midweek.
I doubt if Rovers will touch anywhere near 20,000 this season apart the odd big game (Burnley, Bolton or one of the big midlands clubs if they are doing well).
The Championship boasts good attendances (last I looked the 5th or 6th best supported league in Europe), good quality football and far more competition than the premiership could ever offer (3 or 4 teams looking at the championship with the rest just happy to avoid relegation).
Rovers fans should get used to it in the second tier - it's all you've got for a while, and not many relegated teams go straight back up (a few fall straight through).
Probably was only half of that,the extra digits make counting hard work.See the Dingles were down to 10,000 at weekend
